Pick Your Polo

Whilst the golf course, or a boat club, may immediately come to mind when thinking of Polos, these versatile shirts can be worn for many occasions. From casual Sundays at home, to nights out, or days in the office, just a little styling is all it takes to put together a polo outfit fit for the occasion. Bridging the gap between super casual yet comfortable tees, we know you’ll love wearing them too.

How should your polo fit?

These are designed with comfort in mind, easy to move around in for life on the go! So with that in mind we recommend going for your true size. We don’t want you to feel restricted, but equally avoid your polo being too baggy as that will make you look good. Just check out our size guide before buying, or head into store to get a second opinion and do note we recommend avoid wearing them with all the buttons done up!

Length is also something to consider. Ideally your polo will fall to midway down your back pocket, or the fly of your pants, so it can either be tucked in or left out. Your sleeves should come halfway down your bicep, and have enough wiggle room around the cuff for a few fingers.

How to style your polo?

Super Casual

Keeping it relaxed in Summer is essential, whether you’re having mates around to watch the cricket, heading to the park with the kids, a casual walk for some sunshine, or doing gardening at home. Polos are the easiest way to look put together without much effort, just wear with your favourite pair of denim, chino or walk shorts. Our Dangerfield Polo is a great choice for casual wear whilst bringing a pop of colour to your wardrobe. Our seasonal Teal colour looks especially great with blue denim or black pants.

Finish the look with a pair of sneakers when you head out of the house, and you’re good to go!

Smart Casual

Simply do up two of your polo buttons, and you’ve achieved a slightly more formal look, even when paired with a freshly ironed pair of shorts on hot days. Just switch out your sneakers for a pair of loafers or boat shoes. Alternatively, our Quinn Smart Polo does all the work for you, and in a light breathable cotton jersey fabric it is a winner. In the evenings, wear your smart polo with a pair of Benny Stretch Chinos and loafers.

Work Attire

Whether you’re working from home or in the office, polos are the answer for how to keep comfortable all day long whilst looking professional. We recommend a single colour polo like the Harper Tipped Pique Polo, or introduce a micro pattern with the Taylor Print Polo. These shirts look great tucked into dress pants, or your nicest chinos, with a belt that matches your shoes. For offices that love to pump the aircon, layer with a plain blazer in a complimentary colour.

Formal

When an event calls on you to suit up, that doesn’t mean you have to hang up your polo! Matching your suit pants and jacket with a polo has been all the rage recently, especially as we move towards more comfortable formal options. Why not wear your Beckett Tipped Polo with your navy Raymond suit? Or the navy Quinn Smart Polo with our new Patterson Check Suit Jacket and Stretch Dress Pants? Don’t worry about a waistcoat or tie, though, but accessorise with your matching dress shoes and belt, and a lapel pin or watch for extra flair.

With our great range of polos available in sizes XL to 8XL, and LT to 5XLT for taller guys, you’re sure to find one that looks and feels great, and can be worn to every occasion you have coming up!
